Profile
Biography
Marcus Chambers joined the academic staff in 1989 following completion of his PhD. His research is primarily in the field of econometrics, with publications in journals such as Econometric Theory, Journal of Econometrics, Journal of Political Economy and International Economic Review. His research has been supported by a number of grants from the ESRC and the Leverhulme Trust, the latter in the form of a Philip Leverhulme Prize from 2001-2003. Marcus is currently a Co-Editor of the Journal of Time Series Analysis, a former member of the Editorial Board of Econometrics, a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Econometrics, and Deputy Director of the Essex Centre for Macro and Financial Econometrics.
